Kim Kardashian Reveals Brutal Injury ‘For The Holidays’

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Kim Kardashian may not be “rockin’ around the Christmas tree” this year.

The reality TV star, 44, shared a photo on Instagram of her foot in a medical boot on Friday, December 6. “FML,” she wrote in the caption. “Broken foot for the holidays.”

The Skims owner set Fergie’s 2006 hit “Clumsy” as the background music to her Instagram Story, implying that she’d experienced some kind of accident of her own making. She appears to be using crutches to walk, as evidenced by the crutch visible in the photo.

This unfortunate injury comes right after a joyful day for the former Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, who celebrated her son Saint’s 9th birthday on Thursday, December 4.

On Thursday, she posted a series of photos of her eldest son to Instagram, with a caption that read, “My birthday boy Saint turns 9 today. I was going through my photos and most of our pics are snuggling cuddling pics. I always wanna believe that my little man will be this snuggly forever! So cheers to one of my soulmates for being the sweetest boy. Happy birthday. I love you.”

Saint, who is the son of Kardashian and Kanye West, is the second of Kardashian’s four children with the rapper. Although West, 47, and Kardashian technically share custody of their children, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum previously revealed revealed that she considers herself the sole caretaker of daughter North, 11, Saint, daughter Chicago, 6, and son Psalm, 5.

On the November 12 episode of Zoe and Stacy Winkler’s What In The Winkler?! podcast, Kardashian shared that she is “basically raising four kids by [her]self,” although the lifestyle mogul also said that she has a “great support system.” West, who is currently facing multiple lawsuits, has been married to Bianca Censori since 2022.
